a greentext a friend wrote in reaction to this that im calling an appropriate companion piece
>Be Twilight. >You're doing a census of all ponyville's residents with Spike. >You're about to call it a day when you hear a angry yell and notice a building you normally wouldn't have noticed, just deep enough in the woods to be out of the way. >You let out a sigh of relief. "Glad we noticed that one Spike. We could've had inaccurate data!" >You trot up to the door and tap it only for it to swing open with the tap. >You see a small quaint home, populated by a pack of… clones? >Not clones, they're all diffrent, where the normal clones all match at least one of the branches, none of these do, they all look diffrent, some not even ponies. >You hear Spike writing away as you look around at all of them. >Suddenly a extra small one, about as tall as your forehoof, looks at you and let's out a noise. >"Meep!" >It falls quiet as all eyes look at you. "Hello! My name is Princess Twi" >"Bail!" The one in the water tank calls hopping out and flopping past you like a seal. >Soon it's a stampede as they all charge the door past you. >"No!" A familiar voice yells in anger behind you. "Get back in the sleepover den you freaks!" >You turn to see Captain Swift launching arrows from a crossbow modified to split into a net at the fillies to no use. Missing all her shots. >"God damn eye!" She yells chasing them down. "…light Sparkle… Spike, what just happened?" >"13 Abnormal clones just excaped a unknown poorly hidden den ran by Captain Swift?" He replies with a dramatic finishing of the tallies. >You hear tiny running as the small clone runs from behind the first step on the stairs for the door. >"Meep!" It shouts as it passes you by and runs to who knows where. >"14. 14 abnormal clones ran past you."
